Asking a follow-up: new topic or new reply? Replied, post #68 · Start Here › How to Ask · 23 Jul 2026 · 2 likes A question about somebody else's post should be a reply to that post, not a new topic. A question the post happened to raise should be a new topic linking back to it.…

Second pass at: Which categories are strict and which are relaxed, honestly Replied, post #91 · Start Here › Welcome · 11 Jul 2026 · 2 likes The compound and evidence pages are updated regularly and they are worth reading when you are new.

Second pass at: Sleep apnoea improving and the equipment implications Replied, post #80 · Wellbeing › Sleep · 9 Jul 2026 · 13 likes Adding the measurement that post #77 says would settle it. Stimulants and sleep: if supplementing with caffeine or other stimulants for energy during weight loss,…
